An Autonomous Crop-Cutting Mechanism Using A Drone

Abstract

various reasons are reducing the number of farmers and workers in Asia, which negatively impacts the region’s economy. It has resulted in rising labor prices, increased energy use for harvesting inputs, and decreased resource usage. Researchers are working to find effective, low-cost, and easy-to-use answers to these issues through the mechanization and automation of agriculture. An autonomous tractor that can follow a specified route with harvesting equipment is built. The primary goal of this study is to examine the autonomous tractor, which incorporates several approaches throughout its design and construction and is navigated with drone coordinates. Here, a hexacopter drone is used to survey the field and relay that information to the autonomous tractor, using the data from the various sensors mounted on the vehicle to guide it around the area.
